The inspiration
When Mahatma Gandhi was thrown from a train in South Africa in 1893 for refusing to step down in the white-only compartment, the incident changed not only his life but also the course of history. This turned Gandhi into a revolutionary leader who persevered in the face of opposition, adopting non-violence as his philosophy and ideal lifestyle. While many leaders have made a sincere effort to defeat their enemies amicably, the term non-violence is often associated with Mahatma Gandhi. He used the world as a powerful tool to fight oppression, injustice, discrimination, cruelty and other evil. For Gandhi, nonviolent resistance was the greatest strength humanity had at its disposal.
